about

OCTOGON is the second album of dQtç and refers to both octogon and figure eight as directions to the artwork and musical compositions on this release.
The music was originally improvised by the trio, then edited, sometimes cut and reshaped, into 9 tracks and 72 minutes of music, the eight first tracks being 64 minutes of music containing free improvisations and post-produced asymetric pattern loops. This puzzle has inspired the artwork that refers to the octogon as geometric form as well as a Euopean post-W.W.II political scandal known as "the Octogon Trust". More than an hommage to conspiracy-theories and over-interpretative type of relationships to reality that lead to constantly rewrite, OCTOGON explores ways to deal with free improvisation in a recording process, the passage of music from anyhow to somehow, the result as a musical document and strategies to pursue the creative process further, like an investigation following leads provided by the music, drawing analogies and strong connection with other domains, to make sense and poetry from chaotic randomness.

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles

Angel, I heard your interview with Jason Woodbury on Aquarium Drunkard's "Transmissions" podcast today. It was truly remarkable and touched my heart. I bought this album immediately afterward and am so grateful to you for this nourishing music in these strange, trying days. I hope I can time my next trip to Chicago to be able to see you perform live. Thank you! Michael Feltes
